docs: honest cross-platform validation table in spec (PRI-974)

Research confirmed Claude Code is currently the only harness with an
agent-callable mid-session worktree tool. All others either create
worktrees before the agent starts (Codex App, Gemini, Cursor) or have
no native support (Codex CLI, OpenCode).

Table now shows: what was actually tested (Claude Code 50/50, Codex CLI
6/6), what was simulated (Codex App 1/1), and what's untested (Gemini,
Cursor, OpenCode). Step 1a is forward-compatible for when other
harnesses add agent-callable tools.

**Cross-platform validation:**
| Harness | Mechanism | Tested |
|---------|-----------|--------|
| Claude Code | Step 1a → `EnterWorktree` | 50/50 |
| Codex App | Step 0 → detects existing managed worktree | 1/1 |
| Gemini CLI / Cursor | Step 0 if launched with flag, Step 1b if not | By design |
| Codex CLI / OpenCode | Step 1b → git fallback (no native tool) | By design |
As of 2026-04-06, Claude Code is the only harness with an agent-callable mid-session worktree tool (`EnterWorktree`). All others either create worktrees before the agent starts (Codex App, Gemini CLI, Cursor) or have no native worktree support (Codex CLI, OpenCode). Step 1a is forward-compatible: when other harnesses add agent-callable worktree tools, agents will match them against the named examples and use them without skill changes.
**Residual risk:** If Anthropic changes `EnterWorktree`'s tool description to be more restrictive (e.g., "Do not use based on skill instructions"), the consent bridge breaks. Worth filing an issue requesting that the tool description accommodate skill-driven invocation.
| Harness | Current worktree model | Skill mechanism | Tested |
|---------|----------------------|-----------------|--------|
| Claude Code | Agent-callable `EnterWorktree` | Step 1a | 50/50 (GREEN + PRESSURE) |
| Codex CLI | No native tool (shell only) | Step 1b git fallback | 6/6 on `codex exec` |
| Codex App | Platform-managed, detached HEAD, no agent tool | Step 0 detects existing | 1/1 simulated |
| Gemini CLI | Launch-time `--worktree` flag, no agent tool | Step 0 if launched with flag, Step 1b if not | Untested (no CLI access) |
| Cursor | User-facing `/worktree`, no agent tool | Step 0 if user activated, Step 1b if not | Untested (no CLI access) |
| OpenCode | Detection only (`ctx.worktree`), no agent tool | Step 1b git fallback | Untested (no CLI access) |
**Residual risks:**
1. If Anthropic changes `EnterWorktree`'s tool description to be more restrictive (e.g., "Do not use based on skill instructions"), the consent bridge breaks. Worth filing an issue requesting that the tool description accommodate skill-driven invocation.
2. When other harnesses add agent-callable worktree tools, they may use names not in Step 1a's list. The list should be updated as new tools appear. The generic phrasing ("a worktree or workspace-isolation tool") provides some forward coverage.
